<p>When triggered, Timer measures the time (in seconds) elapsed since the previous trigger, and outputs this time value as a constant. Its output will not change until the next trigger. The initial value is 0.
<p>If you need the time since the last trigger, where the time is continually updated, see <a href="./../Classes/Sweep.html">Sweep</a>.<h2><a class='anchor' name='classmethods'>Class Methods</a></h2>
